About this product

Product Information

Produced in association with the Ramblers, this walking guide covers the popular Peak District and combines detailed route descriptions with information on the local history and wildlife. The Peak District boasts an unrivalled network of around 1,400 miles of public rights-of-way, and over 80 square miles of open access on the northern moors. This guide allows the reader to explore the infinite variety of walking opportunities, which range from gentle riverside strolls, to tough moorland treks. *The introduction gives information about the topography, geology and history of the area, and describes the flora and fauna inhabiting it. *The main section of the book comprises 30 walks. Each walk has a key illustrating principal features, such as level of difficulty and type of terrain, a route profile indicating altitude and distances, and a fact file summarising useful information such as start and finish points, duration, safety advice and points of interest. *Illustrated with colour maps from the Ordnance Survey each walk is then described in detail with clear, easy-to-follow instructions. As well as route descriptions, the text gives the history of the main landmarks along the way plus information on the natural history of the area, and is accompanied by stunning colour photographs. NEW FOR 2010 * Overview map on inside front cover showing start points of the walks. * Walks are colour coded to indicate level of difficulty: green for the simpler walks, then amber for moderate walks, then red for the more challenging walks aimed at more experienced walkers. * Front cover flap contains the key to symbols used in the text and on the route maps. Ideal as a book mark during use.
